Oddly enough the system that is the closest to the U.S. mainland appears to be the least of our worries. Erin, located about halfway between South Carolina and Bermuda is on a projected track that would take the system out to sea over the next several days. This would make Erin an issue with shipping concerns and not so much of a concern for the coast.

While there is no huge model consensus that would lead us to believe Dorian will become a threat to Louisiana's coastline there is enough uncertainty in the model solutions that it is certainly worth mentioning even five to seven days out. Naturally, we will simply have to wait and watch to see what path the storm system will take over the next few days.
